Those are the names of the top bloggers in the SEO and marketing niche who made an impact on the industry in the past years.

For this post, I selected 11 great SEO and marketing bloggers I feel you should follow and read in 2017 to increase your knowledge, to use as trusted go-to sources of information and — why not? — to network with. They’re all pretty friendly people!

If you are wondering how I chose these 11 bloggers out of the many niche experts, I didn’t do it all alone. This post also contains plenty of quotes from other bloggers and marketers I asked a second opinion to: Christopher Jan Benitez, David Leonhardt and Irina Weber.

1. Neil Patel

Who doesn’t know Neil Patel and his work at QuickSprout, CrazyEgg and KISSmetrics? Tireless, friendly and knowledgeable a blogger, entrepreneur and expert in pretty much everything SEO and marketing, Neil is currently one of the go-to bloggers in the industry.

The nice thing about him is his responsiveness — in fact, you’ll most probably see him reply to your comments and messages if you start a truly valuable conversation. This is something I have personally witnessed and enjoyed as a subscriber to Neil’s blog(s).

I suggest that everyone should follow Neil Patel on Quicksprout. He never fails to deliver exceptional content on how bloggers can effectively increase site traffic to market their products and services. Highly recommended! — Christopher Jan Benitez

2. Ann Smarty

Ann is a prolific blogger and an energetic content marketer, as well as the founder of MyBlogU, TWChat, MyBlogGuest and (co-founder of) ViralContentBuzz.

You can find her posts spread around the Web and every time you will walk away with more tools and hands-on knowledge than you believed possible. Plus, she’s an incredibly nice person.

Ann Smarty is one of the best social media experts. Love reading here tips about guest posting! As English is her second language like mine, she has become my inspiration! — Irina Weber

Ann Smarty continues to spin out a large volume of highly useful posts on laser-focused topics. You can find her on Internet Marketing Ninjas, as well as pretty much all over the place. — David Leonhardt

3. Brian Dean

The genius of link building, that’s who Brian is — the mind behind Backlinko and all those thorough, step-by-step guides that could turn anybody into a good link builder quickly (I personally learned plenty about outreach from him). He explains his techniques step by step, with humor and evidence of what he’s talking about.

Brian Dean is my favorite SEO expert and blogger, his tips about link building and traffic are very useful. — Irina Weber

4. Marie Haynes

Marie is one of the top minds in the SEO consultancy industry. She’s a goldmine of SEO knowledge and hands-on experience, plus she’s friendly, helpful, responsive — I had small chats with her on Twitter sometimes. Great person to be in a conversation with and learn from.

5. Gail Gardner

Writer, small business mentor and founder of GrowMap, Gail is a reliable source of hands-on information on how to grow your business and what tools you can use toward your goal. Her blogalso features in AllTop.com under the Social Media and Instagram marketing category.

I don’t think I miss any editions of GrowMap, Gail Gardner’s blog that also frequently features another favorite of mine, Deborah Anderson (two for one deal!). — David Leonhardt

6. Michael Martinez

Michael Martinez is not your regular SEO expert. He’s quite knowledgeable in the technical side of SEO, design usability and the computer science behind search. You can trust Michael’s view of these aspects because of it, even though many of his ideas appear controversial at first glance.

He is the president of web marketing company Reflective Dynamics and the owner of SEO-Theory.com, where he also runs a premium SEO newsletter. You can get in touch with Michael via the contact form on his website or at @seo_theory on Twitter.

7. Adam Connell

Adam’s blog BloggingWizard.com is one of my new go-to places for blogging advice since last year. Adam writes in a way that captures your attention and keeps your eyes on the page until the end of the post. Great copywriting skills, a friendly attitude and a wealth of knowledge to share. Need anything more to start following?

Adam Connell runs an awesome blog called Blogging Wizard where you can find a hundreds of useful posts about blogging. — Irina Weber

8. Tadeusz Szewczyk (aka Tad Chef)

Tad is almost a friend. We had plenty of interesting conversations about SEO, marketing and tools over the last few years. Why should you read Tad’s SEO 2.0 blog? Simply because he offers an alternative view to SEO that isn’t just SEO, but “Web for people from people”, as I like to call it. To Tad, people come before search engines and, in that, our views are pretty close.

Tad’s blog is a must-read because it will help you put SEO and marketing in perspective and look at it from more than one angle.

9. Jon Cooper

The mind and blogger behind PointBlankSEO and its mammoth guides. Jon structures his tips and techniques in a way that make them fun to read and easy to put in practice, as he tries to help both beginners and experts to build good white hat links without stress.

Luana Spinetti is a freelance blogger and copywriter based in Italy. When she's not writing, she will be drawing artwork and making websites.
